Sexual Misconduct and Harassment Charges for Osage Sheriff

Posted by Warren Krech on October 18, 2013

Osage County Sheriff Michael Dixon was arraigned this week after misconduct allegations. He faces a felony charge of tampering with a motor vehicle and four misdemeanors: sexual misconduct, third-degree assault, harassment and stalking.

The woman involved is an officer with the Belle Police Department. Officer Courtney Mahaney had worked for Dixon. Dixon’s attorney calls her a “disgruntled former employee from when Dixon headed up the Belle P-D.”

Dixon pleaded not guilty. An outside judge has been brought in to hear the case.
